I bought a bunch of these Groupons when I had 20% off. Groupon was offering a paint class with a free drink for one person for $25. How I miss that deal.....
Some may find Paintlounge to be a great way to socialize with friends, but when I invite my friends to paint with me I end up tuning them out so I can focus on painting instead. To me, painting at Paintlounge is a great way to reset my brain and destress.
Each paint class is around 2 hours long and the teacher provides you with the instructions and all tools necessary to complete the painting that you signed up for. There is a station of easels with hair dryers to dry the acrylic paint on your canvas to speed up the completion of your painting, but even with the dryers I usually run over the 2 hour mark. This is where the free drink comes in handy because I don't need to leave to buy a drink. Their green tea lemonade is my go-to and it's great that they serve their drinks with a lid on it so you can't accidentally dip your brush into your drink.
They also offer drop-in sessions where you can swing by and freestyle. If you drop in with a canvas I believe the cost is around $10. If you need to purchase a canvas, I believe the session fee is embedded into the cost of the canvas.
One word of advice is to not wear your nice clothes to Paintlounge. I've never been able to leave a paint session unscathed.
